How do people manage to put the words to their thoughts on books? I'm so bad at it. I'm trying to start a reading journal but I can't even form my own thoughts 😭

So at first I was deciding between a paperwhite and a basic kindle, but I’ve seen multiple people talk about the kobo that now I’m starting to consider it. So for owners of either or both, what do you guys think? I’ve seen ppl see a con about the kobo is that it feels plasticy and a bit smaller, but I’m intrigued by the fact that I can download my books easier with access to libby.

I'm struggling to keep up with supply and demand, and thought you guys might help! My14 year old loves a good romance, but isn't quite ready for anything sexually explicit. Its really tricky to find stuff that has an engaging enough plot without the 🔥 She's not mad about fantasy either, although enjoyed the first Twilight book. She also loves a good murder!

To give an idea, her recent faves have been The Naturals series, all the suitable Lynn Painter ones, the Sophie McKenzie Girl, Missing series, A Good Girls Guide to Murder, The Summer of Broken Rules, all the Summer I turned pretty ones, and also all the suitable Holly Jackson ones.

I've had a good look through the lists but can't see any that fit, but I'm new here so maybe not looking right. I couldn't find a search function in the lists bit. If there is such a list, I'd be grateful to be pointed in the right direction!

She's currently reading Binding 13 which I've heard has a lil bit going on, but she's gonna skim if it makes her uncomfortable. I also bought her The Fault in Our Stars for xmas which I think will be the same.

Also just to add - I don't restrict any content, its her personal preference.

Do you usually set a monthly tbr or just go with whatever you feel like? Whats your ”strategy” of choosing your next read? Why or why not?

Hey guys. I'm a total newbie but I promise I've scoured the FAQs and search function before asking! I'm struggling logging audiobooks and need some help please 🙏

I found a post where someone explained how to change the edition to the audiobook, but I'm still a bit stumped when logging them! Quite frequently the only audio option says something like '9 pages' next to it, which sounds more like a sample version? I can't see any stats anywhere for listening time which I appreciate PB might not track, but not 100% sure? Also, I wondered if there was any indicator on my read list what format it was at a glance.

Last question I promise... I've also seen some reading updates where they had the headphones 🎧 Are people adding this manually or does it do it automatically if you chose the audio version?

Thank youuu!

Does anyone else have a favorite font to read or write in? I know e-readers have a lot of options (I typically stick with the default). I also love when books have a little paragraph at the end with their typeface and some history about it because it’s so interesting to me why some fonts are picked over others.

My favorite font to read in is Jenson Pro (diamond periods/tittles and just diamond vibes in general), but it’s an Adobe specific font so I don’t see it much. My comfort font for writing is Garamond, specifically EB Garamond because I’m a google suite user. I also have a soft spot for Georgia and Goudy Bookletter in the serif family and a handful of san serif fonts I use for notes or other projects.

Anyone else have favorite fonts, either for reading or writing?

_________ is the worst character I’ve ever read. But I love the elements of ______ in the story.

I’ll go first.

Cathy (Wuthering Heights) is the worst character I’ve ever read. But I love the elements of various character development in the story.
